1. Problem Description

The problem states that old price is 4 and new price is

3. If you buy 5 at the old price, how many can you buy at the new price. It sounds like the items are purchased with the same amount of money.

2. Solution Steps

Let $x$ be the number of items bought at the old price and $y$ be the number of items bought at the new price.

The old price is 4 and the new price is

3. The cost of buying $x$ items at the old price is $4x$.

The cost of buying $y$ items at the new price is $3y$.

We are given that $x=5$.

So, the cost of buying 5 items at the old price is $4 \times 5 = 20$.

We want to find how many items we can buy with the same amount of money ($20) at the new price.

$3y = 20$.

$y = \frac{20}{3} = 6 \frac{2}{3}$.

Since we can only buy whole items, we can buy 6 items at the new price.

3. Final Answer

6
